In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Welp, after about a total of a dozen RC1 install iterations, I've determined what the heck was wrong w/ my bootup. Since I was reinstalling a few times, I had decided to "make my life easier" (which of course caused this whole problem, having the exact opposite effect of what was intended) by creating just 2 partitions (/ and swap) on the 1Gb drive in my AS200. SRM doesnt appear to like that one bit (which I ended up thinking of this because I had the _exact_ same problem w/ OpenBSD & the OpenBoot prom on my SparcIPX at home). Anyhoo, I've gone thru 2 complete install iterations w/ no booting issues, once I carved the disk differently. -Shawn On Thu, 16 Nov 2000 sko@eth0.net wrote: > > Did a full re-install, including deleting and re-creating the partitions > and still getting "couldn't find /boot/loader".
